Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 342 Disappointment
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the leftover zongzi were cut into slices and baked dry in a pot, and put them on the road to make dry food.

Before leaving, no one came to see him off. Jiang Rong'an and Gu Qingya had rejected all those who had such intentions before, so there was no need to add to the sorrow of parting.

After leaving the capital, the road became the loess road. Fortunately, there were many people coming and going, and the road surface was spacious and compacted, so it would not be uncomfortable for a carriage to walk on.

Gu Qingya opened the window of the carriage, hugged Guoguo and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.

There are not many fields outside the capital city, and villages can be seen everywhere. At this time, it is the time when the wheat and barley are ripe, and the people in the field are rushing to harvest. moment", and didn't have time to pay attention to who passed by on the road.

Stations are not everywhere, and it is often difficult to see inns, but there are still tea stalls, and most of them will plan their time well, and just spend the night in the village or live in an inn, avoiding the hardship of sleeping in the open.

Because he was not in a hurry, it took two or three days longer. After arriving at Honghe Mansion, he stayed for a while before leaving for the final destination, Pingnan County.

Their arrival did not attract much attention. Jiang Song took care of it early and quietly took Jiang Rongan and his party back to the courtyard behind the county government office.

Gu Qingya was afraid that her daughter would not be acclimatized, so she took care of her personally. Aunt Cheng Shui and the others were busy familiarizing themselves with everything in the house, and prepared to cook some delicious and easy-to-digest food to comfort the hard work of the journey.

But Jiang Rong'an didn't have the heart to think about it. He put down his luggage and drank a few sips of water, then called Jiang Songzao to the study, and asked about important matters such as local farming and water conservancy.

During the period from before and after the grain of ear to the summer solstice, it is a bit like the double rush of summer harvest in the south.

The weather in Eargrass changes greatly, and barley and wheat must be harvested in time, and then crops such as cereals and potatoes will be sown immediately.

Unlike the south, the land here is flat and stretches as far as the eye can see. The interval between fields is often ditches or self-planted trees, and the mountains are not tall and steep.

"That Zhuangzi is in the south of the city, including that piece of land. The people who work are very careful, and no one has noticed anything unusual so far."

Jiang Rong'an pondered for a moment, "Let's go and have a look." According to the current time, all the crops in the field have been harvested, and it's time to plant other crops on the plowed land.

Naturally, the yield per mu can also be estimated, because there is still water at this time, and it will be clear after weighing after drying.

"Yes, master." Up to now, Jiang Songzao and Jiang Songwan still called Jiang Rongan the young master, unlike other people, they have already called the uncle or the master, which actually sounds uncomfortable.

Zhuangzi is not big, just a few houses standing on it. The surrounding land is about [-] acres. The person in charge is an old man with tanned skin and the wrinkles on his face are crowded together. It looks very vicissitudes.

"Uncle Yuan, this is the new county magistrate who came here to ask about the yield of the improved seeds." Jiang Songzao said in a deep voice.

"The old man pays his respects to the lord." The old man made a big salute, and then led Jiang Rong'an and his party into Zhuangzi.

At this time, Zhuangzi tamped the ground and spread burlap, on which there were plump grains of wheat.

"Based on my experience, the yield per acre of land has increased by [-]%. As long as it is steadily increased several times on this basis and fixed, then the harvest will definitely double."

There was a deep smile on the old man's face, and even more fanaticism.

However, Jiang Rong'an frowned when he heard this. One acre of land has increased by [-]%. This is a high-end land. If the calculation is based on two stones per acre of land, an increase of [-]% is really not much. It is far worse than the original estimate of doubling. More, at least more than [-]%.

"Is the fertilizer enough?" Jiang Rong'an has done some research, and the most likely reason for such a situation is insufficient fertility.

"The fertilizer is the same as usual." The old man also knows that fertilizer is a problem. There is a lot of land, but the fertilizer that can be retting is only that, and it is not enough at all.

Jiang Rong'an thought for a while, but didn't say much. Perhaps besides the relationship between the seeds, there are many other factors, such as environmental fertilizers, such as planting methods. If there is a slight difference, the result is difficult to meet expectations.

"Take us for a walk in the field." At this time, several cows were plowing the field, and many people were raising ridges with hoes or wooden rakes, preparing to plant corn.

Although there is a lot of water here, there are not many people who grow rice, but most of them grow millet or millet. Now that there are more bracts, there are fewer others.

Jiang Rong'an carefully observed other people's working methods, checked the soil and the condition of the canal beside him, and asked a few questions from time to time. There was not much expression on his face, making it impossible to see what was coming.

After staying for more than an hour, Jiang Rong'an couldn't help but rubbed his eyebrows on the way back to the car. Many things were not as simple as he imagined.

Many times, if he didn't issue an order, the people below would be able to carry it out, especially in farming.

Most people, especially those with rich experience, would not think that a scholar like Jiang Rongan would have any farming experience, and would only feel disapproving of being guided by him.

Jiang Rong'an only asked some details, and then looked at the plan of the field, and he almost understood it in his heart, so he couldn't help but smile wryly.

Fortunately, he can control this Zhuangzi. Even if the people here have opinions, they have to listen to them, and there are not many people who can be replaced.

The road ahead will not be easy, Jiang Rong'an is quite emotional, but there is a high fighting spirit in his heart, the more difficult things are, the more difficult things are, and the sense of accomplishment will be achieved, isn't it?
Back at the county government office, Jiang Rongan checked the official documents piled up after the previous county magistrate left, put it aside when there was no urgent matter, and explained that Jiang Songwan had a banquet in the past few days, mainly to entertain people in the government office Gentlemen.

It is said that little ghosts are difficult to deal with. These people have been operating in the local area for a long time. If Jiang Rongan is not polite, he will inevitably be tripped up in the future, and some things are not so quick to do.

If you really want to deal with a person, you just need to grasp the seven inches in the future.I don't know if it's because of my own particularity that the post of county magistrate is still vacant at present, and the master book, history, and inspection are all from Honghe Mansion, so they are regarded as local snakes.

In addition, not to mention that there are officials and servants below, and there are factions among them, even though the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Jiang Rongan has all the information about these people in his hands, including the things they don't want to be known, and he knows it clearly in his heart.

He understands the principle that the water is so clear that there are no fish, and it is not enough to kill them all, but it is necessary to beat them. This person is too arrogant, how can it last for a long time?
This is a group of people in the yamen, and there are also local gentry and landlords. They cannot be mixed together, after all, they are two different natures.
